Eldermourne - Ep. 14: The Petty King of Outerborough (w/ Lou Wilson)

The Hexbud's back and they're better than ever!

Jake starting off with a song 💕 gonna be a good episode. Poor Jabari always getting tripped up with the intro switch ups. Loved that Emily went with it per usual and sang it.

Xiaolin showdown was my SHITTTT

Jabari is the GOAT

Jabari remains one of my favorite characters from all the campaigns thus far. what an absolute delight to re-experience this incredible arc!

The part where Tarragon says, “we [were] your heroes, when you were a kid” and the king says “and now, i am a prophet”, i got chills, that shit is so fucking good dude!!!!

Cool arc.… So when is Jake going to appear on dimension 20?

Jake’s intro song is the best thing I’ve heard in a long time 😂 perfection

I thought Lou was going to say “one moment I’m going to go over to the king and close his eyes” and boy was I wrong 😂😂

I'd forgotten about Xiaolin Showdown damn I used to love that show

I love eldermourne so so much and one of the most vivid scenes I picture of it is at around 15 minutes when the king shows a slight expression of fear and corbeau says “are you craven?” For the king to say “am I craven? Of course not. But I’m not crazy”. That shit is straight out of a fantasy book for me 🫡

my meme rotted brain started cracking up at 10:45, and its funny bc the gang has no idea what among us even is, it was pure coincidence lmao

Sigh. Not me realizing halfway through this episode that you all were attempting to say chi, and not key. “What is a key point?”

Dangerous Man is so good!!!

damn murph draggin jake immediately

I thought Jake was going by the Megaman theme

Oooooohohoho who do we know that's been reincarnated 👀👀👀👀 I'm very excited to see where this goes. This interim arc was fabulous, Lou should definitely come back at some point, his character moments were so fun.

Lou was such a delight!! I love the original crew and Lou was like a fun uncle coming into town!!

One of the most funny intros ever!! I laughed until I cried! Loved this arc. Great job Lou ❤

GREAT JOB LOU!!!! We hope to see you soon!!!!!!

I loved this arc. The energy Lou brought for Jabari was innovative, and led to a really fun and different vibe from the rest of the campaign. The multiple arcs in the world create a real positive difference from the band of boobs. Looking forward to Caldwell's return and how the chocho crew will build in the outstanding work of the hex buds. Also wanted to give real props to Jake and Emily. This is your world and the energy Jabari came in with could have created some conflict. But where each character led the story, the other players fell into step and it felt very satisfying, complete and fresh. Outstanding work! Oh and I guess Brian did ok too weaving all the completely left field things the hex bloods threw at him while maintaining pace and a coherent world, only kidding! Sublime work Mr DM!

Loved the intro song to Corbeau so much I heard it severally times and sang along with it

I have loved this arc so much!! Great work everyone!! And yesssss to an Australia trip when safe and okay to do so! Can’t wait!

Incredible job everyone AND LOU!! More more more!! We can’t wait!!!

Yes come to Australia!

The kingshammer theme makes me tear up almost immediately every time, I'm always so happy when it comes up in the show because it's going to be e m o t i o n a l

As a plant scientists, I just wanted to say that roses do "fruit" but they are non-edible fruits. A lot of flowering plants fruit but the fruit is simply the protective tissue around the seeds. Some fruits like apples and tomatoes are tasty because they want animals to eat them and disperse the seeds. Most plants do not make their fruits tasty, so we do not think of the as fruits in a dietary sense. I am also curious what Terry was after with the pollen of the plant.

I just want to say how much I loved the Hexbuds and that Lou will be missed! Fantastic arc and fantastic world building. I love how rich the world is now. In my home game I run one shots in my world but different times or locations to help flesh it out for both me and my players and this is such a wonderful way to do that in a podcast form.

That was fucked up of Caedron to cast featherfall and not get the hexbloods with it. "Choose up to five falling creatures within range. A falling creature's rate of descent slows to..."

What an amazing arc! Looking forward to more Lou-powered characters, he was incredible in this!

This arc was simply amazing. Thank you Lou and I look forward to your return :)

It’s great to laugh off some stress on what will be one of the greatest days of my life. Thank you Emily, Murph, Jake, Lou (and Caldwell in absentia) for that!

Listening to this as my best man and I are getting ready on my wedding day! It’s been a stressful 24 hours, as my soon-to-be-wife’s maid of honor tested positive last night for COVID (we thankfully tested negative), but then she thankfully negative this morning

xiaolin showdown was absolutely the bomb

This was amazing! Thank you Lou!! Excellent stuff you guys.

Thanks, Lou! Can't wait for one last job!

The epic whomp! SO RAD! And Emily, your music is a key part to this podcast. The fact that y'all keep those poignant themes from C1 evokes all the right emotions at an the right times! ❤️❤️❤️

This is the episode where they start whomping the Murph again this is great

A rose to a fellow Xiaolin Showdown fan

Brian... headless zombie king... INCREDIBLE

Come back soon Lou

I loved Jake's Chip&Dale song so much because 1) I love how he mixes it up everytime and keeps the others on their toes and 2) It reminded me of Murph and Caldwel's classic bit about the guy who loves natural leader Chip but fucking hates that red nosed fool Dale!

LOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

Jabari inventing shish kabobs is canon

ELDERMOURNE THEORY: Did anyone catch how the king said that the child God has reincarnated? And who do we know has reincarnated? Henry. Now I'm probably wrong but if I'm right I'm calling it murph. (Or steal my idea that's fine) What if the hidden God that they are trying to kill is somehow Henry?

I 100% thought Jake was using the old Megaman theme

this arc has been so wonderful and inspiring, thank you all for it!

Such a good episode thank you guys so much!

jake crit blitz. very consistent considering hardwon rained crits on the last boss fight too. missed it. love it. god i love this show

A bouquet of roses to Jake Hur-CRITZ

I adore that Lou has dropped "hightower" when he says jabari's intro and just says his nickname "the safari" 😂😂

At minute 57, that's some real bloodborne/sekiro vibes right there

Can't believe the king basically shouted I have the power of christ and anime on my side right before the battle

The crab scuttle almost killed me! Tarragon is like half their height and picturing them locking shoulders was too much

Thank you!!

Centaurs have 6 limbs and are therefore insects.

Ohhh i was on the edge of my seat the whole time!

Hey there centaurs! https://arrghigiveup.tumblr.com/post/643533809937154048/how-do-the-centaurs-sleep-and-how-do-they-stretch

So next time we return to this arc Caldwell joins as an ally. Just throwing it out there but Cindersworn Ray would be perfect for him.

Oh my god! Epic episode!

I'm not ready for it to be on pause nooooo I'm gonna miss Lou. At least we have D20. Fantastic job, hope this we get this again during both this campaign and future ones.

Thanks Lou! It has been a sweet Safari!

Bravo! Wonderful episode! 😁

Truly the best arc

talk about getting womped murph

Haha Lou's attempt was golden

My god Jake you beautiful man.

I'm already crying from laughing thank you

YAAASSSS JAKE! This intro is wonderful

What does Jake have for us this time

I'm just saying, I'm one of the many who lost power this week and seeing you post this is a bright spot in a dark week. Thank you.

My body had never been more ready for a podcast!

Hell yeah! waiting all week for this was torture
